-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Mp3/Tag Studio Suggestions +---Topic: MP3 length repair for CBR started by nicolai Posted by: nicolai on Jan. 11 2004,14:28 i have a couple of songs with constant bit-rate that display one lenght in winamp but continues to play much longer after the displayed end-time. most likely my mp3s are corrupt - but i think it must be possible to re-calc the lenght and update the file header. perhaps from within your program? Posted by: Magnus Brading on Jan. 11 2004,15:09 Are you completely sure that they have constant bitrate? In that case they might have had a faulty VBR-header added to them before, which causes this behavior. Anyway, it should work to use the VBR repair in Mp3/Tag Studio on them to create a new VBR-header. Then the displayed play length should be correct. Even though the VBR-repair mode should not be potentially dangerous to normal files, always make a backup of your files before attempting any repair process, especially when they are suspected to be corrupted in unknown ways. end |
